HRN 559: Antique AVcomm, with Captain Steeeve✈

Is Aviation communications stuck in the past? It’s been AM – Amplitude Modulation – on VHF since the 1940s. There have been additions, including some text-based data comm and navigation aids, but primary voice communication is still used for almost everything, and it’s still AM.

Captain Steeeve is a recently retired airline pilot and former military pilot. He also produces a YouTube show where he analyzes aviation ‘incidents’ using tower recordings and news footage, adding his deep perspective.

He is often critical of current communications technology, and has blamed it in part for some fatal accidents. In this epside, we dig deep into AVcomm.

PROMO HRN 559: Antique AVcomm✈PROMO

Aviation Communications is a mix of old and new technology, but the primary communications – voice – is plain old AM radio. Just like it was in the 1940s.

There are arguments for that. You want the simplest, most reliable system for potentially urgent communications. And AM proponents have long noted that when two AM signals ‘double’ – transmit at the same time – the result in receivers is a heterodyne; the transmission may be garbled, but at least the receiver knows it happened.

Our guest in this episode, retired airline pilot and YouTuber Captain Steeve, has his own take, and we’ll get the details in this episode, but he will claim that the current AVcomm system has cost lives, and it didn’t have to.

How My Entire Ham Radio Field Actually Works

A lot of new people have joined the channel recently, so I thought it was finally time to do a complete walkthrough of the antenna field here at Holly Farm.

From the switching system and remote-control setup, through to the four-square, delta loop, verticals, rotating tower, receive antennas, tilt-over masts and future 160m plans – this is how the entire station fits together.

We cover:

Antenna Genius switching
Rotator Genius control
Remote desktop operation
The 40m four-square
Delta loops & receive antennas
DX Commander verticals
Mast #1 and Mast #2
The tilt-over “falling derrick” system
Future 160m tower plans
Radials, grounding and experiments
The upcoming 15m beam project

There are separate videos covering many of these projects in detail throughout the back catalogue.

Enjoy the tour!
